Starting to play like a Benitez side. I didn’t expect any points from this game or Liverpool tbh. We have such a terrible record at Anfield. I would take a draw there and just hope Sunderland get chinned by Arsenal. Voted Tiote MOTM but have to concede that one costly mistake Rafa made was dropping Lascelles for Taylor against Norwich and Southampton but he is only human after all and defensively that is as good a display as I have seen in many a year. Imagine what he could do with a few more of his own signings@

aye ww its actually amazing now that we only play 1 french player i’m actually surprised we can field a team lol
sturridge is due an injury tripping over one of his sauce bottles so hopefully that happens and as you say they have the euro game plus everton tomorrow
finally some hope tho

Well earned draw although their goal was a joke. Why have a linesman if he can’t do any better than that? At least a yard offside. Clear as day. Resign immediately whoever you are. Anita has been huge for us in the last 2 matches. I think we may have found a RB after Janmaat leaves. At least if we end up in the Championship.

cracking performance tonight,full of grit determination and aggression..we lacked a little composure and thought at times,decision making when braking forward let us down….but thats just being over critical…thought mbemba and lascelles look a great pairing at cb,was the odd bollick but such a better defensive battling display then anything seen this season,tiote was dead on his feet at the end of the game,not surprisingly… but what a performance,so much controlled aggression…especially out jumping ya ya near the end sealed the man of the match for me….great performance by all,good point….fantastic to see.

Still think were going down as we will run out of matches. However, Rafa’s first few games he continued with the same players as mclaren, gradually working out his best team and formations and prepared to mix it up, hence the improvements. mclaren/pardew/carver would just play the same “top” players ad infinite. shame weve got him too late

In honor of two dedicated Newcastle fans, who lost their lives supporting Newcastle United.

Their passenger jet was shot down over Ukraine on Thursday July 17th, 2014 by rebels, as they were traveling to support the team in New Zealand.

We will never forget them.

Health Update - 4 Aug, 2016

The good news last week was that after more blood tests my PSA count is still undetectable

This means the prostate cancer is still under control, and there is no trace of it in the body.

Now to be even more vigilant so I can see the Rafa Benitez project come to its fruition over the next few years - wouldn't want to miss that.

Howay The Lads!!>

What Is A Football Club?

What is a club in any case?

Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it.

It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.

It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
